Snow Blower

I Have a Craftmen Sno Blower Model # 536 885400 it will not stay running.
I have fresh gas to the carb. I spray starting fluid in chock it runs for may be 6-10 sec. it will not stay running what can I do?

If it's cold out, make sure that the fuel line doesn't have condensation from the summer that is freezing. It almosty sounds like the engine is running off of the prime charge of starting fluid then stopping. I had this problem with a Polaris TX340 a couple of years ago.

And make sure the fuel shutoff between the tank and the carb is open.
